Yes I missed this line:
> Quick and dirty count suggests we (Paolo and I) merged a very similar number of net (632) and net-next (648) patches. This is not telling the full story either because 1/3 to 1/2 of the net-next patches also *seem* like AI-driven low priority fixes, cleanups and clarifications.
Now would be a STELLAR time if you wanted to introduce vibe-obscured malware into the Linux kernel. (I forget where I read the research on it, but LLMs have been shown to be pretty good at this, inserting intentional vulnerabilities in ways that are hard to detect, embedded in other patches.)
